Knitting and Stitching

A quick post to show off my finish of Marie Wallin's Fair Isle Club 5 blanket, the Moroccan Tile Throw.






And my current stitching WIP, which is Ann Roberts by Hands Across the Sea Samplers.


I'm  using 36ct WDW Parchment and the called for AVAS silks.

Stay safe.

    Your blanket is Gorgeous! The colors, designs, all work so well together. The one with the sheep border over the back of the chair in interesting as well.

    The blanket blows my mind. The complexity of the design makes it hard for me to imagine the focus and attention required to create it. What an accomplishment. Stunning! Your progress with that smaller needle is good to see. And yes, you have fans!

    Oh my! Moroccan Tile is absolutely breath-taking Margaret. What is the size? And it is so nice to see you stitching again (I keep thinking I will get back to it, but so far I'm not - lol).

    Moroccan Tile is just out of this world!!! I can't believe (I mean I can, really) that it is hand knit. Just blows me away.
    And so happy you are still stitching :)

    Oh Margaret, that blanket is a tour de force... You must be able to bounce six balls
    while making a Thanksgiving dinner... such a challenge....not to mention requiring the patience of a Saint... Your stitching is also looking splendid.

    NOOOO WAY ! I can't believe you are stitching and have already done that much on Ann, it's looking great. I have it started but barely - got bored and moved on pretty quickly to many other things. Startitis is the worst disease I've been battling - thankfully and grateful it's nothing more serious. LOVE LOVE LOVE your Marie project. I've been thinking about starting another fair isle since I enjoyed the cowl so much. What's next - will you be getting the EPP out again. I sure have been tempted since I look at Temcula Quilt Co blog and on FB. Enjoy and what's next on the needles or are you taking a break from knitting. be safe and stay well. Mel

    Your blanket turned out beautifully and I love your new start. Just wondering, is the Father type working from home for the duration? And how are you two gorgeous children?

    All of you knitting is beautiful. It is something beyond me to do though.

    I am glad to see that the pandemic has got you stitching again! Love the pieces you stitch.
